T. E. Breitenbach: (1951- ) Artist's Statement
 

"I have never considered myself a sculptor. I am best know as a painter for works such as Proverbidioms, for building a castle, and for Hieronymus, A Musical Fantasy, a musical I wrote which can be viewed on PBS.
 
Of course, I have been working with stone for decades, including building the castle, and some very artistic stone walls and constructions about the property, which are not a part of the sculpture park at present. And I did carvings as a teen, on various furniture pieces I made. The castle, my artwork, and 50 acres (including a 40-foot waterfall), are in trust to be a museum and preserve and will be fully open to the public in the future and until then, for occasional events, workshops, and open studio days. In the meantime, we are off to a good start thanks to the fabulous donations and loans for this sculpture park! We thank the generosity of our very talented artists!

I have obtained a lot of scrap metal, and will try my hand at some abstract, welded sculptures for the park. I am also posting funny signs all about (as I am best known for the humor in my paintings). I want this park to be unique in its own way, and for everyone to leave here with a smile!

Thanks to Jeff Grippin for his welding skills and his artistic eye.
